Cucumber Zucchini Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 juice of lemon
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dijon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps

  1. 1

    In the bottom of a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon basil vinaigrette: lemon juice through pepper.

  2. 2

    Trim both ends of the zucchini and use a vegetable peeler to create long, wide ribbons. I find that it's easiest to place the zucchini flat on a cutting board and peel the vegetable horizontally.

  3. 3

    Repeat the same process with a cucumber and place both the zucchini and cucumber ribbons in the bowl on top of the vinaigrette.

  4. 4

    Add arugula and cherry tomatoes to the bowl and toss well until vegetables are evenly coated with the vinaigrette. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
